Belly button... You better quit.

Right now. Or I'm gonna cut you off. Ok, not really, but I can tell it's gonna pop before I do, and I really just don't want to deal with that right now. I already feel like a fat, ugly cow D:<

 Anyone want to share their bellybutton stories? If/when it popped, and how you felt about it? I know it's totally normal and inevitable for some (especially shorties like me), but... ugh. I just want it to stay put at least another 4-6 weeks.

It's not pretty but it's the least of my concerns right now.

Oh, it's definitely low on my list of concerns, as well. I was kind of trying to be funny. Oh, well. Ha

Mine hasn't popped! Surprised the crap outta me. It's flat, but no outie. I do have the line down the center of my stomach - I can't remember the name of it.

My belly button is completely FLAT right now.

I have this irrational fear that it will untie!  I dont care about it popping so long as it does NOT untie.... I am freaked about it!

As a FTM, I have NO fears about my upcoming c-section but I AM irrational that it will untie!!!

Linea negra, I think? I somehow avoided that - so far. I hear it can come on later. My belly button has been getting flatter and flatter, but recently the soft edges are poking out ever so slightly. And now, the waiting game. :P

It never popped for my first pregnancy, so I was really hoping that it wouldn't again.

But it is starting too.  And it HURTS! LO seems perfectly content to beat me from the inside, right on my belly button.

I didn't get the line until after I have birth!

My belly button is shallo but still in!

I have a freakishly deep bellybutton, it didnt pop with my last pregnancy but it did this time. I kinda like it. Mine isn't tender at all though, which is weird because when it's an innie, it hurts when someone pokes it.

As far as shorties and belly buttons go, lol, there isn't always a correlation...

I'm 4'10" and I went from 108 lbs. up to 188lbs. with my first babe (yes very bad GD).  I never had an outie belly button.  I never got stretch marks on my belly ( I did get them on my hips and the back of my legs near the bottom of my butt).  But my belly button...never popped.  I thought that was a gimme with pregnancy and was kinda lookin forward to it to be honest.  Now I'm pregnant with baby number two and still no poppage lol...

And the 'line' that you are talking about is in fact the linea negra.  Not everyone gets it.  I've also heard of some women who are darker pigmented getting a lighter line up the middle...so who knows...its directly linked to the same thing most everything else is...hormones.

Happy prego,
Sara

Mine didn't pop yet, but I'm pretty sure it will soon.  I'm not looking forward to it!

Mine was pretty shallow to begin and has been out for a couple of months now. It's really not all that bad. Full panel pants + a shirt keeps it pretty compressed. If I really want to hide it, putting a bandaid over it helps a lot too.

I'd much rather have my outie than the weird divot in the middle of the pregnant belly that some super innies get.

Mine popped and definitely looks like a button- Ds came over and poked my "button" like it was going explode with confetti and clowns... He was pretty disappointed.

My BB didn't pop for my last 2 pregnancies.  It would emerge if I was having a belly laugh, but it would go right back in. :)  So far is hasn't popped this time either.

I'm only 5'0 and mine hasn't popped. I don't think it will. It is just really flat.

Mine never went back in after my first baby! It fully popped by like 17 weeks this time around and is now almost completely flat. Blech. 

This baby also really likes to hang out around my belly button and push on it as hard as she can. Painful!

Mine popped forever ago. I kind of think it is a cute touch to my pregnant belly. It sometimes sinks back in if I lay a certain way which is weirder. I'd rather it just stick out all the time.

Mine popped a couple of weeks ago.  My daughter thinks it is hilarious. She will look at hers then mine and just giggle. To me it just means I am close to the end :)

I was trying so hard to keep it from happening.  It was on the verge the week of Thanksgiving and DH kept trying to make it happen on Thanksgiving so I could be like a done turkey.  Right before it happened it actually started hurting, so I was a little happy when it actually happened.
